And the Tears Came Down

In case you don't know me very well, I don't cry. Not often, anyway. My reasoning is this:

-I detest crying in front of people. (and I mean ANYONE)

-If I cry, someone else might start crying

-I look so much like a little kid throwing a tantrum when I cry

So, I've built up kind of a bad habit over the years where I don't cry when I get sad and I just keep storing the sadness up inside of me until all of the tears come out at once. It could be over something even really silly, but not likely. I've had a lot of reasons to be sad lately. Moving, being the main one.

We had been house hunting for a long time, a few months. Originally, we thought we were going to live on the base near the navy lodge, but my mother was not happy with the size of the house. All the kids liked it of course, because it was a 5 bedroom, but we were not focusing on the rest of the house. So we continued searching until we came across this supposed 5 bedroom at Seaside Highlands.
We went in and looked around the house and could hardly contain our joy, until....

We looked upstairs. only 3 bedrooms? How could this be? Well, there really are 5 bedrooms, one just happens to be open to the whole house, and the other downstairs. And there was another problem, all of the non-master bedrooms were even smaller than the ones we had in Yokosuka. I'm sure you could imagine my disappointment. I was very unhappy to see myself cleaning up after my sister in the future, and us arguing over the mirror, certain "toys", and space among other things. After retreating to the car that was parked in the driveway, the tears came down. Unfortunately, my mother saw me crying and then she started to get teary-eyed. It was all just a big mess. I really wanted to be alone.

Later, we went to Burger King for lunch and my parents worked it out so I could have my own room. Did you hear that? MY OWN ROOM! No more tears out of me! Look, here's a picture!

Haha, It's really not this small, I just had to stage it because I couldn't fit it all into the photo :] Notice the Air Mattress. I have a comforter and sheets for a twin bed and the air mattress just so happens to be Queen sized, so it doesn't quite fit. BUT our shipment from Japan comes this Thursday! Huzzah!

That's all for now!
